A look into my creative world.
Explore a curated collection of my past work. At the moment, I only have permission from one couple to share their photos. Because of this, I decided to run a contest for a free session in exchange for permission to showcase my work. Expect to see more uploaded over the summer!
The best part about winter in Rocky is we get to stand on the frozen lake for photos (Bear Lake).
Dreamy gazes and a soft breeze through the trees
A foot-poppin kiss. Hail to the queen of Genovia ;)
Currently Bella's favorite.
One of my favorites. It was harsh mid-day sun, but we used the trees to diffuse the sun, creating a mid-day Golden Hour. The wind blew the snow off the trees and created a whimsical composition.
Dancing on the frozen lake. What you can't see is the 30+ mph winds!
Airplanes!
I tell clients to whisper silly things to make eachother laugh. This is one of those candid moments.
Gotta have the detail shots. We had more planned, but decided to post pone due to being a bit cold!
More dancing on the lake. The way she looks back at him though <3
A picnic table and Golden Hour sun. Perfect spot to warm up in the sun.
This is the look I aim to capture. You can see the genuine love and connection through their eyes.
Part of a brutal bear hug fight ;)
More twirls and spins
A funny joke...
He's whispering something funny to her
The text I got back from this photo: "I love the way he's looking at me, I look HOT!"
Definitely a keeper for Johnny's mom
Playful jokes and whispers on the lake
bunny kisses <3
I don't do very many "posed" images, but there are a few in every session. This is one of them.

More Portfolio Work
I have other interest areas regarding photography including wildlife, travel, and events. Here’s some of that work. below.
There is a split second in street photography where the story just clicks into place. No posing, no setups, no second chances—just anticipating the moment and catching the raw narrative of a crowd. This remains one of my absolute favorite unposed captures.
Luigi man was pretty perfect for some dramatic captures
I adore grizzly bears, and I should probably try to love them a little less. This was from Yellowstone in April 2026.
When the Rockies bring late-spring snow, it's time to go find the creatures with the velvet
Another image of the same grizzly bear. That snoot is just so boopable. My toxic trait is that I believe a grizzly mom will think I'm Snow White and bring me her cubs to the theoretical cabin in the woods I'll live in.
My boy, Loki. He's a pretty handsome guy, and it's hard to beat the backgrounds you find in the middle-of-nowhere, Utah.
Theodore Roosevelt National Park. I came around the bend, and they were all just standing on that hill. I was still getting to know my camera at this point, so this is a more artistic edit.
The fastest mammal in North America - the Pronghorn.
Lots of eagles in Stanley, Idaho.
Outside of Great Basin National Park in spring. Sometimes you just gotta take a picture of a fence because of what it's framing. Those cotton candy skies though <3
Spirit?
Sometimes it's fun to do a more artistic edit. The original image was noisy, but it was the perfect bear photo and I NEEDED it on my wall. So, I made it look like a painting.
I took this photo in Grand Teton National Park in late May 2025. I was back in the Tetons in the first week of May 2026 and learned about Spirit—the last cub of Grizzly 399. 399 was tragically struck by a car and killed, and Spirit, who was with her, hasn't been seen since October 2024.
What stuck out to me about the story of Spirit is how the bear I photographed behaved around cars. I've seen well over 30 to 40 bears in Yellowstone and Teton, but this was the only one I've seen show so much visible fear of vehicles.
I caught this bear coming out of the willows close to the bridge outside of Moran. A car drove by, and this bear FLEW back into the brush. I immediately pulled over, turned my car off, and got my camera ready. I knew it was going to come back out.
Before it did, it "did the Marlin" from Finding Nemo: "First, we check to see that the coast is clear. We go out and back in. And then we go out, and back in. And then one more time out and back in..." It was unusual for National Park bears and interesting to watch.
The next thing that stuck out after looking at images of Spirit is the coloring on the back and the lighter patches of fur. The more I looked and compared, the more similarities I saw. While there are a few features I don't see, research notes that coloration can change as they grow into full adulthood.
I can't say one way or another who this bear is, but I may see if Wyoming Fish & Game and their Grizzly Research Group want all ~50-100ish images I have of this bear (dated and locations included). The timing and stature are on point, and the behavior could indicate fear based on a trauma—like its mother being hit by a vehicle.
It would be really cool if it was Spirit I saw.
